The Professional Market Scammers!

I buy very little stock. In the 1970s when I first got in the market, I could not understand how to figure out for sure how people were able to put a value on stocks. Then I found out that we have technical traders and fundamentalist. Later I learned about E-Traders who buy and sell stocks faster than I can in-hail and ex-hail. That is when I found out that stocks really have no value. It is just the value that people and computers put on them. It is these traders that create the liquidity in the stock market. With out Liquidity, people could not get in and out of stocks on a daily bases.

Steve Kroft gets a rare look inside the secretive world "high-frequency trading," a controversial technique the SEC is scrutinizing in which computers can make thousands of stock trades in less than a second. This may have an affect on the value of your investments when you get ready to use your money for retirement. How would you like your portfolio to fall by 50% in a few weeks just before you retire?

Conclusion!



Here is the reason why I stay away from the stock market unless I know that it is the bottom of the market and I have a very good idea what stocks are going to go up in the next year. The only other time I invest in stock is when the company is giving a good dividend yield in relation to interest rates and inflation.
